Thank you is a simple phrase which is so common that we have taken for granted. Sometimes people think that it is just an unimportant small thing. So, we can choose whether to say it or not. Yes, many of us forget about this. Even me too! (:

Thank you means everything.Being thankful is a simple thing.It has great effect to someone's life.

I am trying to become more conscious when I can say thank you. I want everyone who ever do something to me know how much I appreciate it. Whether I send out thank you cards, say it to their face, call, or even via short message, I want they know that I am very pleased with them.

Thank you for your gift of love.

It just make sense to me. Thank you.

So, people! Look around and maybe, you 'll notice that there is indeed someone who has been spare their time to be with you. Say thank you to them! :)

It is always a good thing to have found someone that you are compatible with. I am happy to know that my friends have found someone that they can share common interests. But, in the mean time, there is still nothing wrong with not officially being in a relationship. hehe.

It is not about having someone, it is about enjoying the one we have. One day, we will meet the right person and we will enjoy many days together! Mudahannya lah kan? Hey, your first love is something that you'll never forget. Don't waste it on somebody you don't really care for. Just because you don't want to be looked at as weird for not being just like everybody else.

Yes, I'm lying. The loss of relationship can bring on heartache. It can be rough, no matter what, no one really wants to go through them. How can I let go, someone that I love?

I don't know how to speak for anyone but myself.

I know that somewhere in the future everyone will leave. The thing is that I can't imagine the world without the person that I love. I realize how much it'll hurt when they are gone. I just started to think how much I would hurt and how meaningless my life would be without them.

Raja Alsanea did a great job writing the book. This novel is about four girls from the origin of Saudi Arabia who lives in the upscale city of Riyadh. They are bound by family, tradition and culture in determining the spouse. In matters of love and marriage, the family has a power to determine their respective partner. Rails lines of ethnicity and family history are the major factors in determining a mate for their children.

Bilaada yang mahukan kita, jiwa kita menolaknya

Bila pula kita mahukan seseorang, takdir menolaknya dari kita

The plot is developed further by telling the stories of romantic disappointment girls named Lamees, Sadeem, Gamrah and Michelle. The story of forbidden love, love without parental consent, marriage and divorce a month after the various conflicts are successfully explored by Raja Alsanea. The ending is not a happy ending but at least, it is the best thing happen to the four main characters in the novel. :)

What's wrong with teenagers today?

After reading this novel, I asked myself with the question above. It's so sad how quickly youngsters are growing up these days. In the mean time, scary! I wonder how the lives of my children will be one day, how fast will they grow up? *risau*

I used to be of average results during my high school until I moved on to UiTM for Science Foundation. Everything seemed to be very tough. Then, came the final exam of semester 1 and somehow I think I screwed up badly (My instinct told me). The results are not out yet but I have very bad feeling about this. I was really afraid to lose my good results and I was so afraid that I might fail and eventually lost everything! :'(

I understand that life must be goes on but I realize that this exam is very important as well and the results will be needed for degree application. I might lose a few other opportunities next year because of these results. *What should I do?*

Versus is the first Hlovate's book I've read. The book conveys a message that everyone can change, and a change in attitude can probably change your life. Reminder, this is not an ordinary novel. Anti Malay- novel? Then, try this one! You 'll be addicted to it. Hehehe (Thanks Mia!)

The phrase that I love the most:

“All verses in the Quran are like personal love letters from God to us. Tak percaya tengok dia punya translation. If you want to find solace and calm for the sore, the words will heal it straight away. Ayat memujuk macam dalam al-Insyirah and ad-Dhuha. Sooth you anytime. Sweet!”.

This post is specially written to everyone who has a fear of final exams, just like me.

Exam is a regular routine works of a student and just like game, there may be winning or fail, try to face the failure and try to be more and more efficient in this game of study. Studying is like eating and drinking and sleeping, that we have to spend at-least one hour every day, study one word a day and one statement a day. Don't worry too much, everything 'll be alright.

Our ambition remain as dream unless and until we overcome the fear. Lucks! :)

Recalling the Ramadan of my youth, I now realize that this month meant little more to me. This year, I am having my Ramadhan in Puncak Alam. I am looking forward to the opportunity to compare the experience in the uni- life to my experience at home . Although some aspects will surely be different, I am sure that many of the practices will be very similar.

This indicates that no matter how far away I felt from home, the familiar sights of gathering made me feel welcome. The breaking of the fast, the Athan call to prayer, and the services that followed reminded me of home, enabling me to cherish these Islamic traditions in a new way. :)

Saw this novel on Nad' s bed. Well, I pick up this book because of the title. Things I Want My Daughters To Know. Interesting! :)

This story is mainly about a woman who says goodbye to her daughters through a series of letters and a journal in which she expresses her hopes and dreams for their futures and confesses secrets she couldn’t voice in life. The words of their mother touch the girls in different ways as they make their own journeys through life.

This book is both heartwarming and heartbreaking. It covers the sister’s reaction to their mother’s death, and the resulting bond that ties them together much tighter than before. I like this novel very much.

This is indeed the most melanchonic Japanese movie I have ever seen. I cried from the earlier all the way till the very last scene. The plot is based on the true story of Japanese girl named Aya who had spinocerebellar degeneration. She kept writing in her diary until she could no longer hold a pen. Aya simply wish to live until the end of her life, and the prpose writing in the diary was to remind herself not to give up.

The fact that this movie was based on upon a real story makes this truly heart moving, even heart breaking. Honestly, I can't help my self watching all the scenes. There is really nothing to say except WOW. This story is truly insipiring and beautiful. It taught me a lot about life, not giving up, treasuring my friends and family. I recommend this movie to everyone. You ll surely learn something out of this wonderful, touching, real life movie! ;)

Fill in a large pot. Hehe. A WATER HEATER actually. With water (Depending on the size of the pot). Remove the macaroni packaging and break it in half. Add it to the boiling water. Allow the macaroni to cook for approximately 10 minutes, stir it to keep it from sticking to the bottom of the heater.

Pour the macaroni into in a container of adequate size. Add the tuna spread, toss it well. Last, serve it with your favourite sauce! (Giant chili sauce best weh. Serious! :D)

It's weekend. Yeay! :) Had a good time watching Three Idiots with some friends last night. Well, Everybody appreciated this mind blowing entertaining film. Seriously, this is a film which shows everything in such a manner. Actually, the whole story is being articulated by three bosom friends whose behaviours looks the behaviour of the idiots.

All the three Idiots looking idiot but tries to prove that actually our mentality has become idotic due to rough competition prevailing in our education system. My favourite scene: The show of delivery of baby by the conventional method. Hehe. It was very creative. And it force to think that how in emergency our brain dies and do nothing!

To many of us, our fathers are enigmas. Well, as for me, I am blessed with a great father. Not the prototypical type, but a very caring and involved father. Don't believe? See what did he do today! ;)Received this message early in the morning today.Anakku, gunalah masa dengan baik kerana kewajipan atas kita lebih banyak dari masa yang kita ada.It touched my chord seriously. (I did'nt reply this message)And, again my phone beeped. Suprisingly it was from Abah, one more time? Mari tepat ore kenduri. Ni ado ore silat dan dikit barat. Terlintas di hati, anak abah esok- esok nak buat guana?(Due to a few reasons, this message has been modified. But still, the meaning remains).Smiled. And in the mean time, I cried. Don't know how to explain. But for me, the messages were very meaningful! :) Well, I did reply the second message, and we did texting for a few messages, mainly talking about the interesting topic above. HeheOld as I am, I still miss my Abah. How about you people? :)

The whole atmosphere was extremely friendly. Yeay! :) Hurm. One and half hour lecture made me realize that it was not just one year- course, it required much more hard work. The less the time, the more amount of hardwork would be needed. This was my first lesson. Well, now it would be a different story altogether.. This course, I mean.

Ahah. By the way, experienced an embarrassing moment early in this week. Perhaps, due to extremely tired- ness. Haha. I entered the wrong block. And even, the wrong ROOM. Wahaha! With embarrassment, I quickly went out from the room, while I keep on saying sorry, sorry, and sorry. It 's good that the people inside there didn't panic. All of them just smile. Ergh. I was so embarrassed to myself. Really! For your info, my house-mates experienced the same thing too. But they were quite lucky since the room was empty. Haha. They saved themselves from a very embarrassing moment. Cheer for them! Oh people, just wondering if all of you had this incident too? Let's share everyone! ;)

Having to move away far from family is going to take some time to get used to. Waking myself up everyday will be a chore in itself. I'll decide if I should go for an outing without my parents having the final verdict. I have to learn how to manage my own time and money. At the end of the day, college is all of what I make it.

The distance between Puncak Alam and Kota Bharu is greater than what I thought. Well, I find myself calling home and cherishing every conversation I have with family more and more. I send them sms(s) when they do not answer my phone. Sometimes, call to check on my siblings. I miss my parents the most. Being homesickness has really set in. Sigh*

Yeay! The project was superb! Everything went on smoothly. Big congratulations to us, the admins (Big, Buyeen, Syasya, & Nuyin -so, very worth right? To climb up and down the school stairs :D) It was so so sweet to recall all the childhood memories. Ha ha. Best! ;) By the way, also special thanks to Asna (for being spontaneous. Hee), and Azrin (for the banner & drawing. Beautiful dearie!).

Let me tell you, clearly (This is what I feel right now. Want a better respond? Go and approach somebody else). As for me, I think finding someone just for the sake of being in a relationship is not a good idea. A healthy relationship can only happen when both people are ready and feel complete within themselves. And, I 'm not ready yet. Sorry (Seriously, have to be phisycally and mentally prepared in order to upgrade the status).Don't you think that I 'm giving chances to you right now? I 'm giving you a chance to enjoy your single life. Spend time doing things that interests you. Well, I like you. I'm not lying. And I 'm very happy with this kind of friend relationship. To go further, I don't think I can afford it. I 'm sorry. I 'm dealing with my principle. And I 'm not going to ruin it just because of the small matter that I, myself not sure enough. I 'm sorry. When the time is right, then maybe we can start it all over again!

Though I'm not even a coffee drinker, much less a Starbucks frequenter, I've chosen to read this book. From the moment he was born, Michael Gates Gill led a privileged life. His parents were well-off, and nothing was too expensive for their son.

He studied at Yale and, upon his graduation, walked straight into a job with a major advertising firm. He worked hard with the firm, doing everything he could for the company and his clients - he earned well, but often allowed his family life to suffer. Naturally, after twenty-five dedicated years with the company, he was fired. Gill hasn't worked in months and he's sitting in a Starbucks near his childhood home, nursing a latte. In a massive stroke of luck, that branch of Starbucks is throwing an open house.

______________________________________________________

Work, no matter what it is, is what you make it

While I'm not a big fan of Starbucks coffee, I found this book a delightful read. I enjoyed reading about Gates' journey from an upper job, his decline, and how he found happiness in menial tasks like scrubbing toilets, talking to customers, and working a Starbucks bar. The book conveys a message he learned from his eldest daughter Bis about work being dignity.

For the third time, I read this book and.. Love it, love it, love it! I love this book! It my favourite book from Cecelia, Its written in the unusual form of emails, IM's and letters. I read the whole book in one sitting. I cried with laughter during different parts of the book. I love Rosie Dunne, and in turn, Alex, too. To like this novel you have got to like both of the main characters as they are featured the heaviest, writing notes and emails and things to each other. I couldn't help feeling for the pair of them and hoping that, for once, fate would allow them to be together. What can I say is Where Rainbows End is the ultimate love story.

Mar 1, 2010

That is happiness, to be dissolved into something completely great! :)

Ohh. Thanks friends. What can I say is ALLAH makes lots of people in all colors, shapes, and sizes. He loves them very much. Instead, we need to look on them in love and sing this song: I can be your friend. I can be your friend. Any day in any weather. We can be friends and play together.. :)

Received this book from Umi on my 18th birthday last February. I do have to say, this was a sweet and surprisingly heartwarming book. I certainly wasn't expecting it to be a ghost story!

In Twenties Girl, Lara Lington attends the funeral of her 105-year-old great-aunt, Sadie Lancaster, whom she never knew. Then all of a sudden, Sadie's ghost, at the age of 23-years-old, appears to Lara. Lara is the only one who can hear or see Sadie. Sadie begs Lara to stop the funeral and to help her find her dragonfly necklace.

I thought there were some funny moments between Lara and Sadie. My favourite moment was when Sadie dressed Lara for her date. Check this one out! It might not be the Shopaholic series or Can You Keep a Secret. But definitely read it and let me know what you think. I think this is one of those books that some will love and some will not love but like. You won't hate it, that's for sure! :)

Always remember to be happy because you never know who's falling in love with your smile

Well. I’ve been noticing how little I smile these two or three days -my face stays pretty serious, for the most part. And I think I should change that!Bobballe, SKJP, or whatever it is; come on come on! Plan something please? Seriously, need some therapy right now.

Having said the above. As for me, my dreams are my heart's desire. Things that I truly want to do. My dreams allow me to set my own goals, no matter what they are and who I am. In fact, my dreams allow me to follow my passion. Er. What are my dreams? -For now at least, let it be my secret :)

Hey people! Knowing your dream and living it is one of the way to simplify you life. By knowing your dream, you have a powerful motivator to make changes in your life.
